This is sickening, so of course it is Florida.  Seriously this is an adult sheriff mad at other adults and taking it out on a child.  This is an 11 year old, impressionable child who has not formed critical thinking skills.   In Florida this boy couldn’t read books with LGBTQ+ characters or plots, But we think they are smart enough to process the wrongness of their actions?  If someone had talked him into taking off his clothing and letting them take pictures, we would not blame the kid would we.  Seriously this is a 5th grader, being perp walked by adults.  Tell me how this teaches the kid anything but the bigger the bully who carries a gun the more they can push around others.  This trauma of being arrested, placed in a cop car, treated like a criminal is going to scar this child for life.  Being locked in a cell, hell did they book and process him … with all that entails.  Where is the right of the minor to have his parents present.   There are better ways to handle this.  All because adults don’t want to give up their damn guns.  Hugs.  Scottie

A Florida sheriff fed up with a spate of false school shooting threats is taking a new tactic to try get through to students and their parents: he’s posting the mugshot of any offender on social media. (Sept. 17, 2024)
